From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

The runway was very wet and the pilot reported little to no braking action. The aircraft hydroplaned off the end of the runway approximately 300 feet. No damage to aircraft or runway lights.
